Flattr - Twitter logo

Continuing on with my recent Flattr work, I was asked to do a logo that incorporated a combination of the Flattr micro payments site and the ever popular micro-blogging site that is Twitter. Three mock ups were made for this:

Flattr and Fail Whale:

Flattr and Twitter bird:

However, in the above version it was felt that it could cause offence as the bird appeared trapped. It was opted for a friendlier type of enticement where the bird was being tempted or lured towards Flattr, after some work, this was chosen for the final design:

You can Flattr any (or all three if you like) of these pictures by clicking on them, every donation is always appreciated.

About Me

I'm a Lewis man through and through. I always advocate the use of open source software whenever possible. I tend to like to tweak factory setings on almost anything I can, the greatest toy ever is the GP2x Wiz as it has just amazing customization potential, cool hardware features such as touch screen, it is way more than a games machine. I also promote using ogg format as opposed to mp3, so if I find a player that runs ogg natively I will always recommend it.
